Summary: Very funny commedy.
Review: It is very hard to describe this manga. It is one of my favorite and I even went to the extent of translating a few of the stories and placing them on my website in the hope that it would help to create more US fans for it. Very recommended.

Summary: Soooo Funny!
Review: One day, I was at Borders looking around at the anime (which ive scarcely done since the 5th grade), when I discovered Shinchan...By the next day, I had gotten all 5 volumes! This is seriously the FUNNIEST book I have ever read! Ive read it over a ZILLION times now! Shinchan NEVER fails to raise my spirits! My only complaint is how poorly made the book(s) itself is...Already 5 pages have fallen out! Otherwise, I am VERY pleased with the whole thing! Its the only anime I ever read now! As for him being the Bart Simpson of Japan?!?! Well...I wouldint exactly say that...hes done ALOT more worse things than any Simpson ever has! Also, the author really seems to understand about how kindergardeners think and behave...Shinchan seems so real! As for the artwork...I wouldint say it's BAD (you should see the CARTOON!), but really basic...Overall, I denfinetly reccomend this!

Summary: LOL XD!!
Review: Shinchan was supposedly known as a 'kids' show in China. Well, every kid knew it.. Even I! (I was a kid at those times =s). Now I'm out of china very depressed about how noone dared transalate shinchan (Shao Xin is his chinese name). People thought it was banned due to kids picking it up and saying, "WHat The Heck!?". But finally I saw an ad with Shinchan in it. At first I thought it was 'too risque' but then my mom ordered all the books and I was instantly hooked. True, I was a fan in china, I had 1 japanese shinchan video, and suprisingly found one DVD shinchan set in a chinatown which I got also.(The set contains episodes almost same to some in the manga!) I long await the day someone will put the anime in english or at least list shinchan in a manga convention.
Shinchan is an important lesson showing all artists that you don't have to make your comic look all fancy to be addicting and crazy.
True, shinchan is pretty risque, but the outcome is totally crazy. (Shinchan's chinese name means 'Little New'!) =)

Summary: You average 5 year old hell raiser.
Review: This book was hilarious. Follow the life of 5 year old kindergartener Shinchan Nohara as he causes all sorts of trouble for his parents.
If you didn't already know this is a Japanese comic (manga). Although it's not drawn very well, the humor makes up for it.
For a 5 year old Shinchan is smart at times but dumbfound at others. He already knows pickup lines, uses children books to hide porn at the bookstore and outsmarts his mother. Other times he goes home to ask his mother their phone number so that he can tell the grocery lady so she can call his mother and ask how much ground beef she needs.
Although the book suggests it should be okay for 13 year olds and up, I still thought it had some adult themes to it (from an American point of view anyways. They see things differently in Japan). My only complaint is that the book is read from left to right. The original Japanese version would be the opposite, since that's how they read.
Definitely worth picking up.
